Studies have demonstrated that heating leads to an increased boundary layer thickness and upstream shock movement, which in turn exacerbates separation and enlarges the recirculation region [2].

An account is given of an investigation into the interaction between the boundary layer on a flat plate and a shock wave produced either externally, by a wedge in the supersonic main-stream, or from ...

We have found that low levels of helium injection near the leading edge stabilizes the turbulent boundary layer, apparently causing a reverse transition to laminar flow to take place. These results ...
